Two-Letter
.Com Changes Hands for $650,000 to Take Top Spot on This Week's
Domain Sales Chart

When a two-letter com changes
handsyou can count on the deal coming with a high price tag. In
the latest example of that DomainNameBroker.com
closed a $650,000 transaction for DA.com that sent the domain
to a buyer in China (as has been the case with many of these premier
assets over the past year or two). That makes four of the eight
biggest sales reported so far
this year two-letter .coms.

The runner up spot on our latest weekly
all extension Top 20 Sales Chart went to PersianRugs.com,
a domain the attracted $60,000 in a private transaction. Sedo
completed the first five with three more .coms - StarWorld.com
at $35,000, Candlebrook.com at $22,800 and FansBet.com
at $17,920.

The .coms went on to pile up 13 of the 20
chart entries. The ccTLDs also had a good outing, taking six
spots on the elite list led by #7 Playground.de at $12,662
via Sedo. Two more of those country code domains landed on the top
half of the leader board. DomainLore.co.uksold #9 Prescriptions.co.uk for $11,124 and Golem.eu
moved #10 Normal.eu for $10,079.

The non .com gTLDs were left with
just one representative on the Big Board - Synergy.media's
$8,300 sale of new gTLD Vacation.guide.

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value cash only sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Sedo had 25 more sales ranging from $2,000 to $4,000
